Surely im no the only person who backed us.
Didn't lump on but had £20 at 3/1 on betfair, had to have a go at the price!

Bet you was worried after the Carson/Terry mix up?

I feel better when Calamity is between the sticks personally.

I was a bit worried yeah! But did fancy us for another one, defo didnt look like it'd stay 1-1, even if it went the other way.

They were great tonight. Did us proud! all over the Germans for a lot of the game, and did really well to bounce back (JT from that mix up) Spot on!

Still as a United Fan I I never liked him, but he scores goals at the RIGHT times.. HO HO HO! I respect him more now. He is a great leader of our National side, and I always prefered his appointment to Rio

"Here he comes, to win it for Chelsea... ...slip, 'Spoon!', YEAH!!!"

That was a great night!

Anyway, England - Good to see us breaking that 35 year unbeaten run of Germanys too. Good performance all round - why is Carrick not utilised more for England?

Had to laugh when it happened someone in the pub shouted 'F***ing calamity James'. When the screen went onto Carson I bet he felt a right c***

Carrick is a good ball player, but that alone is not enough for the holding role. His tackling and hounding is quite poor, and he appears nonchalant when not in possession.

Hargreaves would be charging around trying to break things down when not in possession.

Barry seems to be a mix of the two, not as good a passer as Carrick, nor as good a tackler as Hargreaves, but probably the more rounded of the three.

That to me is the selection problem.

even though i am biased as a Villa fan, think Barry should be in the team, but thought that Carrick did very well last night.

Why not play both Barry & carrick ? why should Lampard & Gerrard be untouchable? we havnt exactly won much with those two togethor have we ?
